This is one awesome LP. I was fortunate enough to pick up a copy at Chaos in Tejas last week. It's a picture disc with some of the most bitchin' artwork I've seen in a while. From what I was told 1000 were pressed, 150 of them were given special silk screened Chaos in Tejas 2010 edition covers. I'm not certain if the ones with the Chaos in Tejas covers were from the original batch of 1000 made in 2007 or if they were part of a repress.

This copy is from the vinyl release. Side A is just one song. Side B is the next 4 songs all in one file since it all sort of runs together.

In the future whenever I post something from Japan I'm going to try and post any titles that are in kanji/kana in both romaji and in as accurate of English as I can muster.

You can still buy a CD version of this album over at Hardcore Holocaust. If/when I scrape the money together to get the CD version I will replace this post with a proper rip from the CD.

Update: 07-21-12: I've swapped out the previous download with a new one. Now, instead of something of questionable origin, I've posted a V0 transcode of the FLAC files that Zer was so gracious to post. I took the liberty of running the tracks through Audition and removing the pops and clicks and normalizing the volume. Thanks a ton to Zer for this!

Osaka's Crow should need no introduction, but just in case you're not familiar, they play a form of very raw metallic punk that one has come to expect from Japan, in no small part because of the influence of Crow. "Anarchy Chaos Destruction" is a compilation CD containing four of Crow's earlier releases collected together.
